Fuel Production and Materials Synthesis by In-liquid Plasma

Abstract

Abstract The in-liquid plasma process has been utilized to produce fuel gases from various liquids such as hydrocarbon and alcohol liquids, electrolytes, waste oil, biomass solutions, including glucose and cellulose, as well as to synthesize Zn, ZnO, WO3, Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles and diamonds. Using this technology, zero-emission hydrogen generation could become possible because it enables liquids to be directly broken down by plasma, making possible the decomposition of waste substances while producing useful materials. The application of the in-liquid plasma process for hydrogen production, decomposition of biomass, and synthesis of materials has already produced significant results. These highlight data will provide new information on “in-liquid plasma application.
